I love letters, words and language, and am therefore quite interested in the history and development of language and speech – so in my opinion these short videos by Myriapod Productions are dead on: ‘In its final form, Mysteries of Vernacular will contain 26 etymological installments, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each episode takes more than 80 hours to create between the research, construction of the book, and animation. If you find yourself charmed, please consider making a donation.’
